In Chen Yu's view, there were gaps between rookies and veterans, and even between one star player and another.
Rookies lacked experience.
In a fast-paced, ever-changing game, opportunities often lasted for just an instant. You simply didn't have time to overthink. The technical moves and tactical positioning practiced countless times on the training ground became difficult to execute.
Everything came down to instinct—to the experience accumulated from countless offensive plays against different opponents, allowing you to make the most logical move in the heat of the moment.
For star players, the difference was talent.
They had plenty of experience, refined skills, and a deep understanding of the game, but their talent placed a ceiling on how far they could go.
The Pioneer lacked both.
They were too young and lacked sufficient experience.
